This week though traffic and enquiries for plumbing courses have peaked with the announcement of the Governments boiler scrappage scheme.

The new scheme, announced by Prime Minister Brown on January 5th, will see 125,000 households receive a £400 grant towards the a new, eco-friendly boiler if their old one is energy inefficient and G-rated. In announcing the scheme Gordon Brown said it “will help to secure 250,000 jobs across the tens of thousands of small and medium businesses involved in boiler manufacture, sales and installation that form a vital component of Britain's low carbon economy”

The announcement, and the boost that it will give to the plumbing trade has sparked interest in plumbing courses.
